ODE TO MY LITTLE TOE
My littlest toe, has always been so cute.
It is always pink and perky
Too perfect to cover with a boot
But lately the piggy on the right foot
Has forgotten its way
It wants to go on vacation to town
Taking a different route
Making me yell
OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!
All the way there and home
The one on the left is still my friend
I polish its nail again and again
It is quiet, it does not groan
So nice and helpful
Never a moan
But the one on the right foot
Won't allow me to cover it with a boot
It has decided to travel a different route
It is kind of twisty now.. not a bit cute
I still love my littlest toe..
please understand
But now that it is jealous of the piggy next to it
Wanting to cross over it and discover new land
I no longer think it is all that grand
It has even changed its name
I am full of woe
It is now called "hammer toe"
Oh what happened to the name "Billie"
Or even "Billie Joe Toe"
Its nail looks just awful
With polish all aglow
Showing itself to be wandering
Too and Fro
.Maybe if I were to get it a nail file too
It would stop trying to run away
Maybe it would not be so blue
And maybe
Just maybe...
It will mend its meandering ways
And spend its time with the file
Making me really smile...
Instead of hammering
the nerves in my entire foot
And I would stop cussing it
Cause helping it find its true course again
Is gona cost a lot of loot!

Do you want me to start a Multiply collection for your jam your having with your to? this was cute.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to you Lockie to find something to write about with a great sense of humor, even if it is a 'hammer toe'. Terrific job again.
ReplyDeleteOnly if it is Welch's Grape, in those cool reusuable glasses.
ReplyDeleteI have to ask this.. what in the world inspired your ID name? You have to admit is is unusual! lol
Well I can either find something to laugh about it hurting like hell when I am on my feet for very long.. or I can do like it does and moan and groan a lot.. thanks Vinnie.
ReplyDeletebetter to laugh ... lol ... good one Locke.
ReplyDeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's one way to look at it, Lockie! Sorry for the misery the piggy is dealing you, but the poem is a riot!
Many Hugs and Much Love to You.
Ah Jilley life is just a bowl of hammer toes ya know!
ReplyDeleteNice poem!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your toe though! I had a friend who had crooked toes really bad, and recently had to have surgery to have pins put in her toes and foot to get them to be straight again so they wouldn't hurt her. Hope you don't have to do that!
LOL.......nice poem Terri!
ReplyDeleteI love the way those nails are painted! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I don't know if I can handle many more happy toe wishes OMG!
ReplyDeleteI don't know .. I think maybe I should have written one about my dandruff being my shirts best friend..
ReplyDeleteLOL.......but then you'd have had to put in a totally different picture!
ReplyDeleteJust reading the title of this poem made me laugh ... you are a hoot!
ReplyDeleteHaHaHa!! Too Bad about your tale of of toe woe. You do make it funny though.
ReplyDeleteI think you should cut that problem child off.
ReplyDeleteIt is always something isn't it.. work work work.. all the time work.. sigh..
ReplyDeleteDon't make me get all slitty eyed at you Mikey.. Tale of Toe Woe??? argh!
ReplyDeleteI sure will Freddie.. right after we get you your nose job and that liposuction that you got that coupon from the gang to get for Christmas.. we will recuperate together.. although.. you will probably have to do kitchen duty.. and cleaning duty.. and laundry.. but I will guard the remote control with gusto! We are staying at your house .. right? You got microwave popcorn don't ya?
ReplyDeleteI wrote that meaning of life blog and I don't think I will ever be same again! I can only do so much serious before I have rust up and lock down of the jaw.. and that just has to be avoided if at all possible..
ReplyDeleteSounds like ya got a toe jam.
ReplyDeleteROFL
ReplyDeleteHowever, I have heel spurs and I know how painful they are. If you can go to the Podiatrist, just go. You'll feel so much better.
